Your appliance decides the liner

Wondering which liner your chimney needs? Start with what's burning below it. An open wood fireplace, a wood-burning insert, and a furnace or water heater that burns gas all need different liners, sized and made from different metals, and each appliance's instructions set the rules.

So the appliance comes first: its listing and manual get read, then the flue is measured to match. You'll see the liner type, the alloy, the size and whether it needs insulation, all given its own price before anything is ordered. Ask a local pro about the right liner for your chimney in Hawthorne by phoning (352) 675-6366.

We cover Hawthorne along with the rest of our Alachua County area. In 2020, the Census Bureau counted 1,478 people living in Hawthorne.

Local Conditions

Converting a wood fireplace to gas

Converting a wood fireplace in Hawthorne to gas? The clay flue that suited wood smoke is far too big for gas exhaust, and condensation follows. Our pros size a liner to the gas appliance's instructions and fit one made for gas exhaust. The gas line is a gas contractor's work, and the quote says who handles it. The liner's alloy is chosen for the gas appliance.

How It Works

Test piece first, then the full liner in Hawthorne

Read the appliance

The rating plate and manual come first, then the flue is measured and inspected.
Sweep and prove the path

After a sweep, a test piece is run down the flue to confirm the liner will pass.
Wrap, feed and connect

The liner is insulated where needed, fed down, and connected at the bottom.
Seal the top, explain break-in

The top plate and cap go on, the draft is checked, and you get break-in steps.

The catch with oval liners

When a round liner is too big for a narrow rectangular flue, it can be pressed into an oval. But ovalizing changes the liner's area, and a liner that has lost too much area can't carry the appliance's exhaust.

Liner makers publish how much ovalizing their product allows. Our pros compare the oval size against the appliance's needs before choosing it. If an oval won't keep enough area, the options include a smaller appliance or removing the old tile to make room for a round liner.

You'll see the sizes and the reasoning on the quote, and no liner is forced into a flue that can't take it.

Sealing the top of a relined flue

At the top of the chimney, the liner passes through a stainless top plate that covers the old flue opening and sits on the crown. A clamp holds the liner at the right height, and the plate's edges are sealed so rain can't run down around the liner inside the old flue.

A cap goes on top, sized to the liner and made to fit the plate. Our pros check that the plate sits flat on the crown and that the crown under it is sound, since a cracked crown lets water in around the plate.

Crown repairs, if needed, are priced separately.

When the water heater is left on its own

A masonry flue once shared by a furnace and a water heater was sized for both. When the furnace is replaced with one that vents elsewhere, the water heater is left alone in a flue far too big for it.

Its small amount of exhaust cools and condenses in that big flue, and it may not draft reliably. Our specialists check for that situation whenever a furnace has been changed, and size a liner for the water heater alone, using the gas code's tables and the heater's instructions.

The fix is a smaller liner, and it's priced up front. The new liner size is on the quote.

FAQs

Relining, answered in short

Is Hawthorne on your list for relining?

Yes. Our specialists reline chimneys throughout Alachua County, Hawthorne included, and every job opens with a free look at the flue and the appliance it serves. Knowing what vents into the chimney helps us come prepared.

What happens to my damper?

For an insert, the damper is removed or fixed open as the insert's instructions say. For an open fireplace, the liner connects above it and the damper stays in use.
